Hi, Richard!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

RW>  HOw do you get a guitar player to turn down?

RW>  Put sheet music in front of him.


           Good one!  I can well imagine that such an individual might be more 
confident when improvising and/or playing by ear, where I'm just the opposite.

           There's a drummer in our community band who is at his best when the 
conductor wants him to do a solo & tells him "Just make up something."  I'm at 
my best when all I have to do is read the notes or when the conductor wants me 
to keep a low profile & enable somebody else's work to stand out... [chuckle].
